## Resource

How well are the Toronto Maple Leafs really spending their salary cap? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti break down The Athletic's NHL contract efficiency rankings, where the Leafs landed 24th in the league, and debate whether the numbers actually tell the full story. The guys discuss why John Tavares has become one of Toronto's biggest contract bargains, why Darren Raddysh earned elite value grades, and whether the model is being too harsh on newcomers like Sergei Bobrovsky, Nick Paul, and the rest of John Chayka's offseason additions. Plus, could Emil Andrae be one of the Leafs' most underrated acquisitions? The episode wraps up with another edition of Guess the List, where Mike challenges Dave to identify this week's mystery ranking.
